Diack: Diamond League thrives despite sponsor loss - 0 Comments

DOHA, Qatar — Despite the loss of a title sponsor, the Diamond League track and field series remains strong, according to IAAF President Lamine Diack.

A new title sponsor hasn't yet replaced Samsung, but Diack said the loss of revenue will not affect the series or $8 million prize money at stake in the 14-meet competition held in venues around the world.

"While we are working hard to find a new partner for the circuit, it is not a question of life or death either," he told The Associated Press by email ahead of a meet Friday in Doha.
